Bath chip & crack repair in Aston, Birmingham
Fixed-price bath repair in Aston and the surrounding area, usually in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How we handle bath repair in Aston
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips under the taps, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repairing versus replacing in Aston
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Everything repaired in place
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Aston
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?
We work UK-wide, so Aston is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

What else we do in Aston
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we’re called out for in Aston
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Work for landlords and builders
